it looks like in this 3D color space, the visible spectrum only takes a small portion of this space. What do other positions in this 3D color space represent? Are we able to reconstruct the entire electromagnetic wave spectrum with every possible wavelength with this 3D color space representation?

It is surprising that humans have developed redundancy with the overlapping regions for the M and L cones, but don't have that same redundancy for the S cone response region.

The horizon lab has a really helpful guide as well as multiple online tools on the spectral lotus.
